23NCUA, Staff Draft 2023–2024 Budget 

Justification 50 (Sept. 29, 2022), https://ncua.gov/ 

files/publications/budget/budget-justificationproposed-2023-2024.pdf. 

24The NCUA included reference to this estimated 

cost savings in the Notice and Request for Comment 

dated June 30, 2017. ‘‘Based on the most recent 

Examination Time Survey results, field staff time 

would be reduced by approximately 200 hours 

annually. Central office and regional office staff 

time devoted to operating, maintaining, and 

administering the Examination Time Survey and 

related processes would be reduced by 

approximately 150 hours annually.’’ 82 FR 29943 

(June 30, 2017). 

Table 2 

Portion of Operating Budget Covered by: FCUs FISCUs 

FCU Operating Fee ................................................................................................................. 37.6% 0.0% 

OTR × Percent of Insured Shares ........................................................................................... 31.1% (62.4% × 49.9%) 31.3% (62.4% × 50.1%) 

Total .................................................................................................................................. 68.7% 31.3% 

Table 1 reflects the NCUA’s annual 

budget of $355.4 million for the 2023 

budget year. The FCU Act authorizes a 

portion of the NCUA’s budget to be 

funded through a requisition from the 

Share Insurance Fund (OTR 62.4 

percent), while the remaining 37.6 

percent will be charged to FCUs as an 

operating fee in 2023. 

The industry has voiced concern 

about the NCUA’s presentation of the 

OTR in the annual budget posted to the 

agency’s website because it believes the 

current footnoted reference to the 

regulatory fees that FISCUs pay their 

respective prudential regulator is 

insufficient.23 The NCUA’s intention in 

presenting the distribution of the 

operating budget costs in this request for 

comment is to clarify how the NCUA 

funds its annual operations between (1) 

requisition from the Share Insurance 

Fund and (2) operating fees paid by 

FCUs. 

The NCUA does not intend to 

discount the fact that FISCUs also pay 

a regulatory fee to their respective 

regulators. In presenting this 

information, the agency welcomes the 

industry’s feedback on the current 

method. 

Commenters also noted that the 

current cost distribution table (Table 2) 

uses insured shares to reflect the 

distribution of the OTR among FCUs 

versus FISCUs, and while total insured 

shares are relatively equal among 

charter type, there are fewer FISCUs 

than there are FCUs. 

First, the NCUA would like to clarify 

the requisition from the Share Insurance 

Fund is not allocated based on charter 

type. The current cost distribution table 

is for informational purposes only and 

is used to show how the portion of the 

NCUA’s budget funded by the Share 

Insurance Fund would be broken down 

among charter types. The NCUA shows 

this breakdown using insured shares to 

reflect that FICUs’ economic interest in 

the insurance fund is pro-rata based on 

insured shares. 

The NCUA Board welcomes comment 

on alternative ways to present this 

information publicly. 

Request for Comment on the OTR 

Methodology 

The principles-based OTR 

methodology has streamlined the OTR 

calculation process and has reduced the 

needed resources to gather the costcenter time allocation used in the 

calculation.24 It has also made the OTR 

easier for stakeholders to understand. 

The methodology additionally has led to 

reduced variability in the calculated 

OTR each year. 

The added detail, transparency, and 

clarifying statements in this request for 

comment aim to address the industry 

interest regarding transparency and 

improved understanding of the 

allocation of insurance-related expenses 

among charter types. The Board 

welcomes comment on all aspects of the 

OTR methodology—including on the 

four principles, added detail, and 

clarifying statements discussed in this 

request for comment—as well as any 

suggested alternatives. 

The Board is also particularly 

interested in comments on whether it 

should continue to publish a dedicated 

notice requesting comment on the OTR 

methodology every 3 years. 

Alternatively, in circumstances when 

the Board does not intend to make 

changes to the OTR methodology, the 

NCUA could ask for comments on the 

OTR methodology triennially along with 

its long-standing one-third regulatory 

review process; rely on the public’s 

opportunity to request action under 12 

CFR 790.3 or petition the Board for 

changes under § 791.8(c); or a 

combination of these opportunities. The 

Board also now annually publishes, 

requests comments on, and holds a 

public hearing on its budget. These 

comments and hearing, in turn, provide 

further opportunity for individuals to 

comment on the OTR methodology as 

part of the budgeting process. While the 

specific triennial process dedicated to 

the OTR has served well over the last 

number of years, the Board requests 

input on whether another process may 

prove more efficient and save resources 

for both credit unions and the NCUA 

while still maintaining transparency on 

the OTR methodology. Whenever the 

Board considers any changes to the OTR 

methodology, it would continue to seek 

comment through a Federal Register 

notice specific to the OTR. 

By the National Credit Union 

Administration Board on December 14, 2023.

Secretary of the Board.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: IMLS is 

especially interested in comments that 

help the agency to: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques, or other forms of

electronic submissions of responses. 

I. Background 

IMLS is the primary source of Federal 

support for the Nation’s libraries and 

museums. We advance, support, and 

empower America’s museums, libraries, 

and related organizations through grant 

making, research, and policy 

development. Our vision is a nation 

where museums and libraries work 

together to transform the lives of 

individuals and communities. To learn 

more, visit www.imls.gov. 

II. Current Actions 

This Notice is to solicit comments on 

a program evaluation of the IMLS 

Museums for All Initiative, which began 

in 2014. A current IMLS cooperative 

agreement includes an evaluation of the 

Museums for All initiative, a program 

through which participating institutions 

offer free or reduced-price admission to 

families facing financial need. The goal 

is to assess the impact of the Museums 

for All initiative on participating 

institutions. As part of this evaluation 

effort, a questionnaire, which is the 

subject of this Notice, will be 

undertaken to solicit information from 

participating institutions in Museums 

for All about the initiative’s 

implementation, benefits, and areas for 

improvement. A small number of 

participating institution staff will be 

interviewed virtually or in person as 

part of case study research. These 

information collections will be 

developed based on what is needed to 

undertake the evaluation. The 

information IMLS collects will build on, 

but not duplicate existing or ongoing 

information collections.

Library Services.
